Reviews

'[Entangled Otherness] conducts a courageous inquiry into gender in Guadeloupe, Haiti, and Martinique [...] With such seemingly divergent disciplinary agendas, the book's extreme originality is to contextualize analyses of gendered identities, using oral history, discourse analysis, and ethnography to better shape the contours of decolonializing a misrepresentation of gender dynamics in the Caribbean islands that have been, at least explicitly, the most influenced by French colonial legacies.' Alessandra Benedicty-Kokken, CUNY 'Charlotte Hammond's groundbreaking interdisciplinary research has produced a monumental book on mimicry and masquerade.' Rachel Douglas, University of Glasgow Reviews 'Hammond weaves (if I might permit myself such a metaphor) an elaborate web of connections that create a network, indeed a mapping, of the various intersectionalities under consideration. Rather than overworking a wordplay that might seem to lack a correspondingly rich conceptual content, this semantic wealth instead matches the intricacy of the book's readings and theorizations.' Jarrod Hayes, Bulletin of Francophone Postcolonial Studies
